This past weekend we managed to get out and about, yes it has been a while since we’ve travelled somewhere. So the first trip of the year was a short trip to Venice. Izaskun, had never been before so it was only fitting that we should visit Venice before the mass tourist crowds arrive.
Overall it was a great short trip with much to see and enjoy, here are a just a handful of the photos that we managed to take.
Enjoy
